Re: Pacers/Pistons Postgame Thread 11/5/13

over the summer we were talking about PG meeting the qualifers for the supermax. kinda jokingly said hey all he has to do is when MVP. he won't this year, but it's not unthinkable at all he can very soon.

The Pistons announcers are the most non-homer announcers on the circuit. The only drag is the play-by-play sounds like a baseball announcer. Not enough play-by-play and too much silence in the middle of the action.

Paul George is elite. Our defense is suffocating. I wish we would have kept Scola out there in the 4th, he was starting to click. We need him to hop in and do that.

Lance was frustrated.

CJ Watson is the second best point guard we have had since Tinsley. I like him much better than Jack. Jack takes too many shots in the 4th. That is why GSW didn't resign him.

Ian frustrated me tonight. Sloan can't shoot. Roy took it to Andre. West was meh, but he didn't hurt us overall.

The Pistons are too hodge podge. Smith, Stuckey, and Jennings take too many dumb shots. Singler is good for them. But Pope should have gotten more burn.

I predict a BIG trade for them. Too many pieces and they need a player to tie it altogether. I know the Mavs won't trade him but Dirk would be a great cog to this wheel. Either that or have Monroe just be that. I don't know how Andre and Monroe are going to coexist without the spacing. It works for Houston because of Harden, Lin, and Chandler. Smith is not a shooter. Jennings is really not a set shooter. And this Billups pretending to be Jason Kidd is not working. Play Pope more Cheeks.

How refreshing is it to see the Paul George vs. Josh Smith battle....it is fun to me because you watch two totally different mega-talented players. Ours works his *** off every off-season and is truly motivated to be great and great he is becoming....while the counter part has all the talent in the world but seems to lack motivation and has quickly become one of the mega-talented players in the league I'd be pissed to have on my roster. Truly is great watching Paul grow in front of our eyes what an amazing person and player he has become.

Happy to see another win tonight, I was kinda expecting a loss coming into this.

Roy's D has been amazing. I really hope he isn't losing confidence on offense though, we all know how easily he can get in his funks on that end of the court. If we see the playoff version of Hibbert and this new PG, we would be extremely difficult to beat. Right now, I'm kinda worried about what happens with PG has an off game, who is going to step up?

I think the Pistons are going about it the wrong way (building there team that is). Its clear they seen the writing on the wall and went out and got long athletic players, and they are trying to get a power post game like the Pacers, but they got a bunch of guys who are just nothing but gunners. Stuckey played there for 6 years and was nothing but a gunner, Jennings is a gunner too. Smith is a chucker. They got a bunch of high usage gunners who do not compliment low post players.

I think they'll be fine. The only thing that they're missing right now is a legitimate midrange/outside threat. That's how they rolled with younger Billups, Rip and Tayshaun.
